Did you import correct library?


Thank you for asking

Yes. I made a new modification and the code now runs fine on python 3.2 as
well. I replaced;

dictionary = io.StringIO(u"""\n""".join(english_words))

with

dictionary = io.StringIO(unicode('\n').join(english_words))

However, i do not understand why it works fine now
